Mangan hasn't lived. This is T20 compared to some of the stuff I had to endure growing up. I tell you it scarred me for life.Chizz said:
Fortunately, it looks like there is almost no-one there to see it.
In the Pakistan v England series in 1977/78, for example, where the three match series ended up 0-0, England scored a total of 1153 off 517 eight ball overs - that's a strike rate of 27.93. Or, in terms of the modern game, the equivalent of scraping 150 in a day!

Until England bat, when the surface will no doubt look impossible to bat on!Chizz said:

I can't see the likes of Buttler and Stokes scoring many2 -
155-1 off 47
Hafeez 86*
Malik 66*0 -
Rashid really struggling with his consistency. We are even resorting to set fields for bad bowling.
Figures of 10-0-58-0

Hafeez given out LBW to Broad for 98. Hafeez reviews straghtaway and......................0

Stokes, not Broad.1

Really winds me up this, I even posted this before on the general things that annoy you thread. I'm certainly no expert but why do bowlers really push the front line? It only ever seems to result in scenarios like this.Addick Addict said:Broad the plonker has Malik caught - only for it to go to the 3rd Umpire and he has over stepped by half an inch!!!!
In the meantime the batsman has added another 32 runs since then - at tea.1 -
It's a culture that comes from the nets. It's all about stopping batsmen from making the bowler look ordinary. I can't help thinking that it is the bowler's offset mechanism because he hasn't got the luxury of proving that he would have got a wicket if/when the ball is hit in the air.MartinCAFC said:

Even kids are allowed to get away with it by coaches and they then wonder why they can never pitch the ball on the same spot when they get out in the middle.1 -

A crowd of 54 reported by TMS. As I said earlier, no one gives a toss about this series and looks like I was right, again.1

I give a toss. I would suggest you do to as you're listening to TMS.Riviera said:A crowd of 54 reported by TMS. As I said earlier, no one gives a toss about this series and looks like I was right, again.
I would suggest Rashid cares in his first test, I would suggest Ali cares opening the batting for the rest side.
I would say Younus cares as he's about to become Pakistans leading run scorer.
It's in Abu Dhabi on a Tuesday, of course there's no one there. Shall we see what it's like on the Islamic holidays on Thursday and Friday?
I disagree that you are right, especially "once again".
These guys are playing test cricket for their country, it matters. It's a big series for Stokes, Buttler, Bairstow, Rashid, Wood, Bell etc etc, all trying to cement their places in the side.6 -
Anyone know if highlights are shown on terrestrial tv at all? I think channel 5 only have rights to home series highlights0

Broad does now get his wicket.
Younis Khan out for 38 but does in the process break Javed Miandad's Pakistan run record.
247-3
Shoaib Malik 102*

Cook (in taking the catch to dismiss Younis Khan) is now England's leading catcher, with 122, breaking Andy Strauss' previous best of 121.2

England just won a review for a caught behind - on noise which has to be one of the few times that has ever happened.
Misbah out for 3 off Anderson
251-41 -
Decent effort from the seamers here to keep going.
Looks like the lack of quality spin is going to make this a long and hard three-match series for us2 -
Time to get Bell out of the slips. Just dropped his second clanger of the day.

286-4
But for Bell's dropped catches and Broad overstepping it might have been a lot better.1 - Sponsored links:

I suggest, you give a toss because you have commented that you don't give a toss thus proving that you do give a toss. If you didn't give a toss you would say nothing.Riviera said:A crowd of 54 reported by TMS. As I said earlier, no one gives a toss about this series and looks like I was right, again.

Broad was saying in the post day interview that he was really down in the dressing room and would have had his head in his hands but for the fear of missing.4 -
Pakistan's bookies need to pull their fingers out and give us a chance.5

Finn is on a plane home too and Jordan has been called up as his replacement. Doubt Jordan will get a game.1

There's a sight you don't see too often - the keeper standing up to Broad.0
